For centuries they have fallen over themselves to reinterpret the words of Jesus so they could justify actions which very clearly go against his teachings.
Go read the sermon on the mount. You aren’t being led by the spirit if you’re getting so mad at someone you would hurl insults at them. The fact that you would yield to anger to this point shows you are a murderer at heart.
You just don't know Church history but that's understandable considering most Christians around you are protestant.
There's an uninterrupted apostolic succession originating from Jesus. Jesus taught His apostles and established His Church on Pentecost sending them the Holy Spirit.
Then they wrote the gospels and taught other Christians forming Churches all around the world. The priesthood lineage was continued through laying of hands (that's how Peter gave his blessing to Timothy).
Then, once Rome (Byzantium) was Christianized, they called ecumenical councils which ruled on theological and canonical questions solidifying the common true faith of all Christians, the way it was taught by Jesus and the prophets before Him.
Only after that did they compile the Bible as we know it (7th c. I think). Yes, most prots don't realize it, but It was that Christian tradition, the apostolic Church tradition that gave us the Bible.
So it logically follows that the correct interpretation never leaved the Church Christ Himself established here on Earth on Pentecost, giving the key to Peter and the apostles. And that's what exactly Jesus told us in Mathew 16: "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

The fuck you talking about? I was brought up catholic i an area almost exclusively Catholic. I was an altar boy.
I know very well what Christians believe and it's obviously a bunch of bullshit, most of it made up after the fact.
(7th c. I think)
You are a few centuries off. It was in the late 4th century.
In any case, St. John Chrysostom wasn't an Apostle, he lived centuries aft all the Apostles had died.
Also, the Apostolic Succession is a tradition and a doctrine but not confirmed by evidence. There is no mentioning in the NT that the Apostles ordained Bishops.
You really have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Go play somewhere else.

You were a pretty fucking stupid Catholic then which makes sense since you regressed to atheism probably because "there's no evidence for God".

Noted, I should have checked that. It was still after the first 3 councils.

He was a Church father/Apostle of the Church. The word apostle refers to Church fathers and Saints not just Jesus' disciples. He is part of the apostolic succession.

Peter was one of the 12 Apostles AND the first bishop (Pope) of Rome. Are you retarded or just lying by reflex, dude? He ordained Timothy (by laying hands on him) as his successor.
That's what I mean with Christians are weird.
For centuries they have fallen over themselves to reinterpret the words of Jesus so they could justify actions which very clearly go against his teachings.
Fuck off, heathen.
I know more about Christianity than you ever will.
That's what you fedora tipping faggots always claim.
Are you claiming to be a Christian?
